Family Dentistry

If there's a family, we would like to have the whole family as patients. Number one it's just easier to have, not having people going to all different providers and things. There are occasions to where a child if they're very, very young and they need a lot of extended services, that we would refer to a pediatric dentist, but in general if it's cleanings and basic fillings and referrals, et cetera, that's something that we handle there.

We like having families because we think our patients are family, and so it would only make sense that if a family comes, that we're going to want that family to be part of the family that we have. It's easier too for them in terms of transportation and it's better for us because we can meet them all and get to know people better that way. Actually if we've seen one of the parents and they say, "This is my six year old daughter that I was telling you about, and there's my 14 year old son that we were talking about." We get to know people better that way.

If we have a really young child that's part of the family, that's become part of the practice, we encourage initially one of the parents to bring the child with them for a hygiene appointment, a cleaning appointment and just come. The only thing they're going to do is sit and play. They're going to watch. They're going to watch their mother or father go through this appointment. They're going to see the interaction with the hygienist, with us, and with the office. It's not going to be a foreign place to them when they come back and it's their turn, but if they're very young, even when they come back, we do something, just a happy visit. They come back, they ride in the chair. We look in their mouth a little bit. We don't force anything. They get a balloon. They have a big time, and they like us. They're not afraid to come back. As they transition and it comes time for them to need dental care or have a cleaning, whatever that may be, it's a familiar place.

When people are looking for a change, often times they have in their mind what that change would be, "I wish that I had some more explanation. I wish that I had more time. I wish that everything wasn't in such a rush. I wish that my healthcare provider knew me personally. I wish that I did not feel like just a number in this whole system. I wish I had the ability to have a connection if I had some questions. I wish I knew what was going on. I wish I had some options."

And so I think that people that are probably most comfortable in our practice are the people that value those choices. That they want to have a discussion, they want to have a lot of information about the treatment that they have. They don't mind if we take a little bit more time to do things. They want to know what's going on and they want some people that are really obsessive about the work that they do to a flaw, that almost it's obsessive and it makes us a little slower, me slower. That is still very efficient, but I'm slower. I think that that's a difference when people just have a different atmosphere. It's a different feeling in the office, it really is when the focus is changed.
